I’m not one of those people who blindly believes in common hearsaying about reliability, and I am most definetely not the only one. Italia has given the world literally millions of brilliant and just as many horrible cars, and none of them has a reputation for being reliable whatsoever. I know this is utter bullshit, but which are the cars that prove the legend wrong? And I am not talking about cars that require lots of preventative maintenance and a couple tankers full of rust protection to keep going for two years, I’m talking about cars that are generally suited for all-season DD use.

Now tell me Oppo, what are the most reliable italian cars of them all?

I assure you I have definetely no evil plans for the near future, none at all.

[EDIT] New criteria: Obviously people are suggesting rebadged Chryslers and Suzukis, so the only cars that are allowed to qualify have to have been designed and built by an italian manufacturer.

I have an ‘09 Alfa GT 1.9JTD, and in 40,ooo miles nothing has gone wrong.

This isn’t even a joke. I’m serious.

This is hard to answer because if you’re counting badges coming loose, ligthing elements, fuel sensors, radios...then I’ve got nothing. Otherwise a Maserati without any F1 transmissions or Skyhook is fine, as are most Lambos weirdly enough. Actually Lamborghinis have gotten damn near exceptional. Let me look into the Huracan.

Most reliable Italian car? It’s probably a Lancia.

I have a ‘00 Peugeot 406 coupe (built in Italy, by Pininfarina) and at almost 250k km on the odometer (80k km in my possession) nothing that isn’t a bulb has gone wrong. And a part of the exhaust and a few exhaust rubbers, and the radiator became a bit tired and was replaced at 15 years of age, as was the battery the year before. Nothing you wouldn’t have on even the most reliable of reliable cars.

Of this I am aware, because I know I love your wheels!

406’s are renowned for their bodywork and galvanising as well, just seriously well put together cars.

The Fiat 500 is decently reliable, but when something breaks... Boy does it break.

There’s exactly zero rust on the body, and they do salt the roads here during winter. Moderately.

Anyway, if I come to an agreement with the seller I’m going to pick up a set of original 16 inch 406 coupe wheels for my car for the summer tires. The narrow 205 GTI wheels are for winter tires.

How many miles does it have? Only those 40,000 or more because it was bought used? Also our old 370.000 mile Xantia 1.9 TD is laughing right now.

Modern Lamborghini becoming better likely has a lot to do with the fact that VAG owns them. Porsche got exceptional after the [backfired] acquisition, too.

I’m so glad you’re getting the 16’s. I always thought they were too small, but now I look at a Coupe and they make it sit just right. Funny, Pininfarina were right all along, who’dve thought it?

Don’t know about more recent models, but earlier ones had some serious issues.

Strictly speaking, there are no Italian 500s, just Polish and Mexican ones.

No need to apologize on my threads, we french and italian car drivers are family.

Lamborghini probably make the most reliable engine relative to power output. One benefit of intrinsically using the same engine for the last 50 years! Lambo also make successful marine racing engines, though I don’t know much about them. And yea, not just the engines are reliable!! “Note that work on these Diablo SV-R models didn’t start until February 1996, with an introduction in March 1996 at the Geneva Auto Show, and a first public race in June 14th at the famous Le Mans circuit were no less than 28 SV-R’s were present, and what’s more, they all finished too ... making this a initial outing very special, it was even called the ‘zero faults operation’ afterwards. This meant that in a matter of only four months they built at least 28 race prepared Diablo SV-R’s!”
